Stevia is a South American herb that has been used as a sweetener by the Guarani Indians of Paraguay for hundreds of years. The leaves of this small, green Stevia rebaudiana plant have a delicious and refreshing taste that can be 30 times sweeter than sugar.Stevia has many excellent properties. The body does not metabolize the sweet glycosides from the stevia leaf or any of its processed forms - so there is no caloric intake. Stevia doesn't adversely affect blood glucose levels and may be used freely by diabetics.

On a personal note, I started researching Stevia many years ago based on the benefits that are projected to Diabetes and Blood Sugar interaction. My son developed Type I Diabetes at a young age and in researching the items to maintain control of his Blood Sugar Levels, I discovered the benefits of Stevia as a sweetener coupled with the benefits of Chia as a added component for the stabilization of Blood Glucose levels. I moved to Belize to produce the two products utilizing certified organic methods in the production as a test basis. The results have provided the benefit of being an adequate supplier of Organic Certified Stevia and Organic Certified Chia. As you see, we are a company that has specific goals and will ensure that our products are completely tested and certified to meet the goals to provide products that are targeted to provide results in the world health industry. I would never put my child at any risk, unless I was sure that the product would provide a result.
